In addition, Ziyue also recruited a young fan of their flower shop, who is 22 years old this year.
Zhuang Yangyang, a young fan, is a horticulture graduate and a local resident whose home is right here.
After graduation, I stayed at home unemployed because I didn't want to work too far from home.
She saw the trending topic "most beautiful flower shop owner" online. As someone who appreciates good looks, she saw the comments from netizens and realized that the flower shop was in her area. So, she immediately went to the flower shop to check it out.
As luck would have it, I ran into Ziyue, who was returning from dinner.
I immediately exclaimed: The photos online really do live up to her reputation!
In the days that followed, he frequently went to the dessert shop to buy cakes and then to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers, and became familiar with the shop's employees.
As soon as she heard that the store was hiring, she rushed over to apply. She's a very cute and adorable girl.
Now, her little flower shop has five full-time employees.
The same goes for Chu Yijing's shop.
Because business was so good, they had to hire two more employees to expand the business.
They also fixed the opening and closing times for the stores.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Back to the present——
In order to be able to rest with Ziyue, Chu Yijing's dessert shop also set Thursdays as the day off for its employees.
A small blackboard displaying the business hours is placed at the entrance of the shop, both in front and behind, 24 hours a day.
The word spreads like wildfire, so let's give everyone a heads-up and not let them come only to find the place closed.
When the shop is too busy, Ziyue will help wrap bouquets, water the flowers, trim the branches, or do cashier work.
When she's not too busy, she paints, plays the piano, or goes to the dessert shop next door to watch Chu Yijing make desserts.
Ziyue learned a lot about making desserts from him, and although she did a good job, she felt that they were still not as delicious as those made by Chu Yijing.
It has to be said that talent is something that can't be envied.
Chu Yijing is someone who was blessed with natural talent.
The desserts he makes are especially amazing.
Sometimes, when Ziyue looked at his long, fair, and well-defined hands, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: These are definitely magical hands!
So Ziyue would often take some of the desserts that Chu Yijing made for her back to her room, which was actually just moving them into her own space.
Chu Yijing simply assumed that she really liked the desserts he made and ate them all.

Before we knew it, the Lunar New Year was fast approaching.
Since Ziyue doesn't rely on the flower shop to make a living, she doesn't plan to open during the Lunar New Year. Instead, she plans to give her employees a holiday so they can go home and reunite with their families.
As for Chu Yijing, his family was quite well-off, and he didn't need to rely on the dessert shop to make a living.
Making desserts was just a hobby he had since childhood, but he didn't want his hobby to become a source of stress in his busy life.
So, like Ziyue, he also decided to close the store for the Chinese New Year so that his employees could go home for the holiday.
On the afternoon of the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, before leaving get off work, Ziyue took out several red envelopes and gave one to each employee.
"Thank you all for your hard work during this time. This is a bonus for everyone. Please accept it. I hope you all have a happy holiday and wish you all a happy new year in advance. I wish you all happiness and all the best in the new year."
"Yay, long live the boss!" This was the joyful cheer of Pingping, Li Jiahui, and Zhuang Yangyang, a group of young girls.
"I also wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance." Wei Meiling looked at the girls in front of her with a smile and offered her blessings as well.
"It's been many years since I've been home for the Chinese New Year this early. In the past, I could only go home on New Year's Eve. Sometimes, it was good enough if I could make it home on New Year's Eve, and sometimes I couldn't even go home for the whole year."
Li Yuan held a red envelope in one hand and scratched his head with the other, sighing with gratitude.
At this moment, Li Yuan was extremely grateful that he had quit his job as a taxi driver and then, by chance, applied for a job at this flower shop.
The pay is good, and the workload isn't tiring for him; it's much better than before.
This year I was finally able to go back to see my parents and two children earlier than usual.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan felt a surge of excitement. He knew he had to hurry back and pack his bags with his wife, along with the gifts and new clothes he had bought for his parents and children. He would go home tomorrow to celebrate the New Year!
After the employees had quickly finished tidying up the flower shop and left, Ziyue closed the door, went back upstairs, and went to the kitchen.
She decided to treat her "personal chef" and "senior pastry chef" to a nice meal for him as well.
As soon as Chu Yijing entered the door, he smelled the aroma of food and immediately saw Ziyue wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen. Instantly, all his fatigue disappeared.
"You're back! Go wash up first, then come down for dinner."
Hearing Ziyue's greeting, Chu Yijing felt it sounded just like what a wife would say to her husband returning home from work.
Chu Yijing realized what he was thinking, hurriedly responded, and rushed upstairs.
Ziyue turned her head and glanced at him. Tsk, this person, I wonder what he's imagining again.
By the time he came down, Ziyue's last dish was ready, and Chu Yijing quickly helped set out the bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing the delicious-looking food on the table, I couldn't wait to eat it. It all looked so appetizing. I never expected that Ziyue's cooking skills would be so good!
How can she be so outstanding! So talented!!
No wonder she's the girl he likes!
"Try it and see if it's good!" Ziyue urged.
"Then I'll start eating." With that, the chopsticks went straight for the sweet and sour pork. One bite, and the sweet and sour taste was just right.
The braised pork is rich but not greasy, and melts in your mouth.
Mackerel in tomato sauce is crispy to the bone, tender and juicy.
Honey-glazed yam is soft, chewy, and sweet.
Lychee shrimp balls are refreshing and crispy.
There's also steamed crab, stir-fried squid, spicy oysters, and a sip of plum juice—it's absolutely amazing!
Chu Yijing tasted them all one by one, unable to stop. He praised them as he ate, wishing he could swallow his tongue along with them, because they were all so delicious!
"Ziyue, your cooking skills are amazing! They're comparable to those of a five-star hotel chef, no, no, they're even better!" Chu Yijing praised repeatedly.
"Haha, if you're so good at talking, then talk more." Ziyue accepted his praise without any hesitation.
I thought to myself, it's normal if it tastes good; it's definitely not normal if it doesn't taste good.
After all, she had studied and researched various dishes in so many worlds. Even though she didn't cook often, she had developed excellent culinary skills over time.
Chu Yijing, of course, showered the dishes with compliments, praising each one in a different way, without repeating himself.
However, Chu Yijing felt that the kitchen was not a good fit for the fairy, and that the fairy should just sit and wait to eat.
Moreover, Ziyue's hands are good for painting and playing the piano, but they don't feel right for holding knives and pots. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but say, "However, Ziyue, you don't need to cook. Leave the cooking to me."
Ziyue raised an eyebrow. "I know, I know. I just did it on a whim, and I was thinking of treating my 'personal chef' and 'senior pastry chef'."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yijing's ears burned. Even though he hadn't been drinking, he couldn't help feeling a flush rise to his face. Ziyue said he was hers, he was hers, he was hers, he was hers...
That sentence kept echoing in my mind, and I just stood there, completely stunned.
Ziyue stared blankly at the person opposite her, her eyes slightly shy, her ears red, and her cheeks seemed to be flushed pink.
Tsk, so easily charmed!
She hasn't done anything yet!
Ahem, Ziyue pretended not to notice anything unusual about the man opposite her and continued eating the food in front of her.
Chu Yijing quickly came to his senses and didn't say anything, but silently sped up his eating.
Neither of them spoke again, but the atmosphere around the small dining table seemed to become somewhat ambiguous, as if surrounded by a hazy, pinkish glow.
After finishing his meal, Chu Yijing quickly tidied up, happily washing the dishes at the tap.
Yes, even though the dessert shop has been renovated, Chu Yijing is still staying at Ziyue's place; his apartment is still vacant for the time being.
He didn't mention moving there, and neither did Ziyue. After all, she was a free private chef and pastry chef, so why would she kick someone out?
